A drummer and a tooth.

That's what we have to report.

Lily is most certainly sprouting her first tooth. Lower, front (leftside). Yesterday we noticed that she has the white line and a sharp edge poking out. So far, she seems to be taking it in stride. She's been spending a lot of time chewing on things and drooling. She's also been rubbing her new tooth in Elsa's face. Or at least chewing on her sister's arm quite a bit. I'm not sure what this new tooth means for our breastfeeding relationship. The girls are getting about 50% formula these days. I feel proud for breastfeeding twins for nearly 6 months. But, I'm not sure what I think of breastfeeding twins with teeth. Ouch! I'm going to have to draw the line somewhere.

Here's the little teether in her punk shirt from Aunt Meggan. The shirt reads "criblife" and features a baby drinking a 40 oz bottle. What a rebel.



We also hit another big milestone yesterday. Elsa figured something out. Mark was playing the toy drum. Then Elsa decided to copy her dad. She took the drumstick (and instead of eating it as per usual), she started hitting the drum. As first-time parents, we are now convinced we have musical prodigies. We're signing them up for Suzuki classes next week.


Aunt Olivia must have been pyschic. This shirt arrived just a couple weeks ago. Elsa hamming it up for her dad. The babies glow whenever he's in the room. They have daddy totally whipped. And let's be honest, mommy's whipped, too.

We can't believe how fast this is all going. They will be six months old in 8 days. Wah! They seem to have matured by leaps and bounds the past few weeks. They are laughing, smiling, developing opinions. We are having so much fun.

They also seem to be in constant motion. Elsa especially is constantly bouncing. Just as I envision her dad as a small child. Lily's really been trying to sit up. Yesterday they got a doorway jumper. Here's Lily testing it out. (Don't worry, we are not going to keep it in the bathroom. Too close to the pinching door).
